Full question

Is it feasible to make the amazing Chocolate Guinness Cake in a bundt tin? We love it and use it for celebrations but aren't sure if it will work in a bundt tin. Thank you.

Our answer

Nigella's Chocolate Guinness Cake (from FEAST) is a very moist and tender cake, however we are not completely sure that it would be suitable for a bundt tin. When the cake bakes it tends to have a soft and slightly sticky crust, which will make it much more difficult to turn the cake cleanly out of a shaped bundt tin.

If you did want to try the cake in a bundt tin we suggest that you grease the inside of the tin really well and then dust it with cocoa powder (if you use flour it will leave white spots) or use a good baking spray that has flour incorporated. As an alternative you may like to try Nigella's Cider And 5-Spice Bundt Cake.
